Swearing, incidentally, will cost $1 per oath., remind organizers, and there will be a "cuss bucket" put out accordingly. Strikeouts too will cost victims a buck, and "do- overs" will cost $10 a pop. BENEFICIARY JESICA is the 8-year-old daughter of Candice M. Weeth and the granddaughter of Doug and Sherry Weeth. At 2 she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor that intertwined with the left optical nerve, causing her to lose sight in one eye. She under- went chemotherapy for a year and went into remission. At 6 she was diagnosed with three new tumors, one near her brain stem and two on her left au- ditory nerve. Her oncologists were concerned that the new tumor near her brain stem could cause paralysis from the waist down, so she resumed chemotherapy for al- most a year. At that time seizures forced cessation of the procedure, but the good news was two of the new tumors had disappeared and the other two had shrunk. THIS YEAR, following an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World in Florida courtesy of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Jesica had another MRI, and the news was even better: Three of the new tumors had disappeared entirely, the one near her brain stem had shrunk and the original optical tumor had di- minished in size as well. The family continues to feel financial strain, however, report the Fraziers, and so it is hoped that this weekend's tournament can help defray the costs of driv- ing Jesica to Children's Hospital for her quarterly MRIs and other tests she must continue to under- go and also help start a fund for her college education.

Kinney and assistant coach Sara Seleg guided the Wild Things to third place in their di- vision over the weekend despite the usual early-season challeng- es. "We've got six new girls on the team that played their very first games of soccer," says Kinney, noting that finding their ideal roles is a coaching challenge he's yet to master. "But they're doing very well. I was real pleased." Three other Shelton teams participated in the huge affair. Winding up with matching sec- ond-place finishes were the girls of "Team Shelton" in the 18- and 19-year-olds' division and the "Shelton Thunder" girls in the U- 14 division. And copping fourth- place honors in the U-15 boys' battle were the "Tornadoes." The tourney serves as the fall season kickoff of the South Ma- son Youth Soccer Club - and in fact has done so for more than a dozen years now, says Kinney. It has grown steadily in numbers since the outset and now ranks among the biggest such assem- blies in the state. NOT SO'S YOU'D notice, at any rate, as the hometown "Wild Things" of U-13 girls' soccer help kick off the weekend's 98-team "South Mason Kickoff" soccer tournament Friday evening at the Johns Prairie multi- field facility. Top right, flush from battle but not too spent to register her approval on the sideline, is Wild Thing Alyssa Olivas. And emerging from a tangle of funny bones in the nearmost shot, moments before the start of the game, are teammates Angela Albright (9) and Alexis Johnson. In the insets, from the top, Wild Thing Emily Rodriguez (left) gets a step on her rival near midfield, the aforementioned Ms. Albright watches team- mate Desirae Klokkevold's shot split two defenders en route to the back of the rival net and a visiting coach pumps up his lads at halftime of an adjacent-field showdown. Bayshore Bayshore's ladies yielded the following in their regular Tues- day get-together: August 21,3 Little Pigs & the Big Bad Wolf First flight - Alice Chapman first and Toni Stevens and Coralie Watters tied for second. Second flight - Luana Ellis first and Harlene Robbins second. Nine-holers - Pat Pitman first (22). Fewest putts - Luana Ellis among the 18-holers and Pat Pitman among the nine-holers. Birdies - Alice Chapman (3rd hole) and Toni Stevens (1 lth). Chip-in - Alice Chapman (3rd hole). Cushman Lake Cushman's ladies par- ticipated in the annual Alder- brook 9-Hole Ladies Invitation- al last week. The results: Alderbrook Patsy Goehring low net, Carol Kelley second low net; closest to the line on #3: Carol Kelley; KP: Dawn Turnbull on #4 and Patsy Goehring on #6; putting con- test winner: Dawn Turnbull. Cushman Sandy Palmer low net, Judy Keiffer second low net; closest to the line on #3: Gail Collyer; KP: Wynne Wright on #4 and Diann Muller on #6; putting contest winner: Wynne Wright.
